Bethlehem, Pa.— Women's soccer turning the page in 2014
Taking on his first campaign, Ykoruk is looking to make strides with the team by building upon the foundation laid by upper classmen and captains senior defender Kaylan Bruzzone junior midfielder/forward Melissa Pavia and senior forward Kirsten Schall.
Schall will look to embark on another career record setting season. She was named to the Landmark Conference Second Team and she is currently tied at fourth in career assists, seventh in points and ninth for career goals in the school record books. Helping on the forward attack will be sophomore midfielder/forward Valentina Margiottiello, who scored two goals and had two assists last season and junior midfielder Catherine Lamplugh, who had one assist and netted a game winning goal last season.
Along with Schall, sophomore defender Christine Miklas is looking to use the momentum from last season to keep the back line strong. Miklas was named to the Landmark All-Conference First Team and to the ECAC Division III South All-Star Second Team and looks to continue to be a clear presence on the field in 2014. Junior defender/midfielder Taylor Blake who was also selected to the Landmark All-Conference Second Team will help Miklas and the Greyhounds maintain the standard 1.50 goal-against average.
The Greyhounds home opener is this Friday, August 29 at 3:30 p.m. against Marywood University.
